I' serious: none. Clearly it must be time for me to swarm over to the Carnot-Cycle device and prise open the magnetic strip- secured metallic thermal barrier and extract a fused-silicon hermetically-sealed pressure vessel containing Brettanomyces-modified *Hordeum <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hordeum>vulgare *carbohydrate, hopefully tinctured with a moderate dosage of Humulus Lupulus-produced aromatic oils.
